Category: Weekly Developments

Between the break from school and the new year, Hayley & I have been consistently chatting over the holidays about the narrative, environment design, and art, so we are confident when Semester 2 starts. Most of our work in the past two weeks has been for the Project Proposal, so here are some of our…

(Phase 4 development) (Done = ✅)(Preparing = 🟠)(Not done = 🔴) This week, I plan to create concept sketches and start the prototype to show at the gallery. Semester 1 Brief(What I am doing this week =⭐) Week 10 Tasks (up to Sunday 7/12/25) • Brainstorm, research (field, Case studies, Photo research, Videos, etc.) by…

(Phase 4 Development) Today was our presentation, where we showed what ideas we came up with. Here were my 3 ideas. I’ve also linked the development processes: I was definitely leaning towards the first idea at first, since it is a game I wanted to make for a long while now. Taking inspiration from some…

(Phase 3 Development) Monday Today in class, Adam showed us the project proposal document to fill out a game idea you want to take forward, fleshing it out to help you make a solid idea. We also saw some previous students’ work, linked on Blackboard, which taught me how to pitch a game idea. How…

(Phase 3 Development) Below, I’ve linked to where I’ve displayed some of these LOs in my work thus far. In future work, I will incorporate these into the final game idea.

My presentation was on my chosen topic: Hair Braiding combined with BJDs (Ball-Jointed Dolls). I started with a quote and talked about how it links to braiding hair, as well as the general process and trust…

Speculative Design (Phase 2 Development) On Monday, we made posters of our theme as if no one had heard of it before. How would we introduce our topic to the world? I picked the idea of “Ball-Jointed Dolls”, and I imagined a world with them that they were new beings/creatures, playing into the idea of…

My Presentation (Phase 2 Development) This Monday, we had to present our chosen topics to the class. It was quite nerve-wracking, but as I got into these topics (which I love btw!!!), I eased into it. It was 8 minutes per presentation. As established in my earlier blog posts, the topics I chose are: Hair…

(Phase 1 Development) Last week, I identified my topics to explore further: BJDs, the London Underground, Hair Braiding/Ancient Ghana, and Nightcore (The Genre). I will be exploring these topics in my research page. This Monday, we had to write down our themes and tell the class what we had settled on. The exercise for this…
